APPENDIX 2 DETAILED CAUSE OF DEATH BY GENDER AND AGE Preamble to Appendix 2 Appendix 2 provides detailed causes of death by gender and age group for deaths that occurred in British Columbia to provincial residents in the year 2001. Causes of death are coded according to the World Health Organization's International Classification of Diseases, tenth revision (ICD-10). ICD-10 defines the underlying cause of death as "(a) the disease or injury which initiated the train of events leading directly to death, or (b) the circumstances of the accident or violence which produced the fatal injury." ICD-10 codes consist of a letter followed by numbers, and sometimes include a fourth character to provide more specificity. In this appendix, the ICD-10 codes have been summed to the letter plus two-digit level and are presented only where there were at least five deaths from the specified cause.
